Interior decorator Jan Morrow and composer Brad Allen share a phone line. Brad keeps the line occupied all day talking to his girlfriends, which annoys Jan terribly and animosity between them builds up. They however have never met and when by chance Brad sees Jan, he decides to add her to his list of conquests. Knowing however how she feels about him, he poses as an innocent Texan country boy named Rex Stetson to win her, a plan which seems to work.

In 1959, Doris Day teamed-up with Rock Hudson for what was to be the first, and best, of three memorable collaborations together. The on-screen chemistry that is missing in the earlier pairings with Sinatra and Lemmon, is abundantly evident here. It helps that the script is as sharp and witty as they come.


Doris Day plays Jan Morrow, a single - you guessed it - independent, career woman, managing very well on her own as an interior decorator. Of course though, she needs a man in her life, as her housekeeper, the permanently hung-over Alma (Thelma Ritter) tells her. Her friend, client and millionaire Jonathan (Tony Randall) wants to be that man, but for Jan it has to be the right man, the one who can “hit the moon”. Jan’s love-life and career are suffering however due to her sharing a party-line phone with Broadway musical songwriter Brad Allen (Hudson), a serial seductor who spends hours on the phone sweet-talking and singing to the many ladies in his life.


Unfortunately, the phone company tell her that the only way she is likely to get her own line is if it is an emergency or she is pregnant (a single lady – the very idea!). By coincidence, it just so happens that Brad is writing a musical for Jonathan and is surprised to discover that the woman Jonathan is chasing appears to be the same one he battles with on a daily basis at the other end of his phone. Intrigued and adopting the persona of a gallant, honest and naïve country boy Rex Stetson, he takes advantage of an opportunity to get to know her and attempts to melt the ice queen.


Pillow Talk is probably the defining movie of the romantic comedy genre, pitching together two characters at the opposite ends of the spectrum and watching the sparks fly. And there are plenty of sparks here, in a sharp, sophisticated and witty script with two actors who are the best at their respective positions on the scale of virginity/promiscuity.


Hudson is superb – suave and charming, he knows how to make the most of every suggestive line and taunt about Ms Morrow’s bedroom problems, his performance only made funnier in hindsight with knowledge of his true sexual orientation. Doris Day is untouchable (literally) in her prim and proper persona, struggling to defend her virginity from the assault of a dirty, rotten scoundrel. In terms of low-down deceitful and hilarious seduction of a lady, Hudson and Day’s act probably even surpasses Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe marvellous interplay in Some Like It Hot.


What is so great about Pillow Talk’s romantic comedy routine is that it draws out the love-hate relationship over the entire length of the film, flipping between the two through Hudson’s wonderful performances as Brad Allen/Rex Stetson – equally seducing and appalling the viewer at his caddishness as he does Jan Morrow. The film also makes the most of this split personality through its wonderfully innovative and suggestive split-screen techniques. As Ewan McGregor and Renée Zelwigger demonstrated in best-forgotten retro spoof Down With Love, they can’t make films like this any more.
